READ RUTH 4
1. When have you recently had to wait on a matter to be settled? Why is it hard to wait with contentment about the unknown?
2. What does “redeem” mean? What was required for Boaz to accomplish redemption at the city gate?
3. What do the people’s requests to God for Ruth and Boaz say about their faith and community?
4. How was Ruth’s desire (spoken as a vow in 1:16-17) fulfilled beyond all her expectations, and what can you praise God for giving you beyond your expectations?
5. How are your perspectives expanded when you connect believers today through faith in Jesus Christ back to David, to Obed, to the women’s prayers for blessings, and to the promises of God in the Garden of Eden? (See Matthew 1:1; 2 Samuel 7:8-16; Ruth 4:17; Genesis 3:15.)
